Soon after, melodious music was transmitted from the sound transmission array glyph array glyphs. Ding ding dong dong, like a mountain stream.
The music seemed to have the magical power of calming the mind. The passengers who were very anxious just a moment ago all calmed down and walked forward while mumbling.
However, Li Yao knew that it was definitely not a ball of lightning.
The crystal train's defense glyph array glyphs had already been activated to the limit and could resist any kind of lightning attack. Even if it could not resist, the lightning could be guided into the ground through the lightning protection magical equipment. How could it possibly destroy the carriage?
After ten minutes that felt like a year, a female voice sounded from the sound transmission array glyph array glyphs for the third time. However, this time, the announcer seemed to be more nervous. Her voice was hoarse and sharp as she fell into a great panic: "Dear passengers, a ball of lightning has penetrated the power glyph array glyphs of Carriage 14. We are doing our best to repair it. The following journey may be a bit bumpy. Please pay attention to your safety and try not to walk in the aisles. Also, please pay attention to the condition of the heavy luggage on the luggage rack to avoid injury. In addition, please proceed to Carriage 14 if you have experience in magical equipment maintenance. Please proceed to Carriage 14 if you have experience in magical equipment maintenance. "
"Something big has happened." Li Yao thought.
Admitting that a carriage's power glyph array glyphs had been penetrated by a ball of lightning would undoubtedly cause a certain degree of panic among the passengers. However, the truth was definitely a hundred times more terrifying than a ball of lightning. Even the magical equipment maintenance engineers of the military were in a situation and had no choice. They could only ask the passengers for help.
Li Yao walked towards Carriage 14 without the slightest hesitation.
The closer he got to the end of the train, the more intense the vibrations became.
There were no passengers in the last few carriages. They were all fully armed Union Army soldiers.
There were a few young looking recruits who seemed to have just joined the army. They were clenching their teeth so hard that the back of their molars made a "Gege" sound.
The door to Carriage 14 was tightly shut. An officer with red eyes, as if he was suffering from a pinkeye disease, was checking the identity of a young man.
Li Yao carefully looked. It was the low-level cultivator "Jiang Tao" that he met by chance in Waiting Room 8.
Jiang Tao straightened his back and said indifferently: "I am a third-year student of Star Nebula University's Refining Department, a 3rd Level Refinement Stage cultivator. I have already passed two Refiners Registration Examinations. As long as I pass three more examinations, I will be a registered Refiner recognized by the Federation. Ordinary magical equipment maintenance will not be a problem for me. "
"Great, what about you?" The red-eyed officer turned to Li Yao.
Only then did Jiang Tao notice Li Yao's existence. He was obviously stunned for a moment.
He didn't quite understand what this country bumpkin was doing here.
Li Yao honestly said, "I am a freshman of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department. I am preparing to report there, so I don't have a rank yet. But some simple maintenance work can still be done. "
Jiang Tao smiled faintly, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.
He had long heard that the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department was the trashiest Refining Department among the "Nine Elite Universities". Now that he saw them today, they were indeed worthy of their reputation. There were even farmers among the new students. It was really interesting.
The red-eyed officer was also a little disappointed. He let out an "oh" and casually scanned Li Yao's identity spirit rune.
When he discovered that Li Yao was actually enjoying the "Class 1 Disabled Serviceman of the Federation", his attitude changed in a flash. He straightened his back all of a sudden and couldn't help but shout, "Great! We are short on manpower, quickly come in! "
The red-eyed officer grabbed Li Yao's wrist and walked into the carriage.
Jiang Tao was stunned once again. He didn't understand why the red-eyed officer was more enthusiastic towards Li Yao, a freshman of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department, than towards himself, a top student of the Star Nebula University's Refining Department. He wanted to ask, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. He could only follow behind Li Yao with a tangled face.
Carriage No. 14 was very hot and stuffy. A faint smell of blood lingered in the air. Seven to eight Union Army soldiers were wiping their magical equipment with gloomy expressions. There were a few relatively young soldiers whose faces were deathly pale and their legs were trembling. A few bearded veterans were laughing and joking at the side, telling dirty jokes to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Whoosh!"
The carriage door closed behind them. Only then did the front carriage door open. Immediately, a burst of mournful screams could be heard.
Li Yao and Jiang Tao were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat. They braced themselves and walked towards Carriage No. 15.
Carriage No. 15 had been transformed into a field hospital. All the chairs had been pried up. Four soldiers with broken arms and legs were lying on the ground. Their wounds were very irregular, as if they had been bitten by wild beasts. One of them had half of his body shriveled up. It was as if his blood and bone marrow had been sucked dry in an instant!
Next, it was the last armored battle carriage.
The thin carriage door couldn't block out the sounds coming from inside the armored carriage.
Screams, roars, explosions, and claps of thunder were mixed together, mixing together to form an extremely terrifying music!
"Put on the protective suits!"
The red-eyed officer put on two camouflage vests. A sparkling and translucent luminous pearl was inlaid in the front of the vests. Hundreds of colorful, octagonal spirit glyphs were suspended inside.
Li Yao pressed the activation array glyph beside him. With a "buzz", a translucent pale golden spiritual energy shield opened up around his body, firmly protecting him inside.
"Everything is ready. I'm going to open the door!"
The red-eyed officer said with a sinister expression. He clenched his teeth and fiercely tore open the door leading to the armored battle carriage.
"Crash!"
Strong winds wreaked havoc and torrential rain poured down. Suddenly, Li Yao was unable to open his eyes. He could only hear the sharp whistling of a flash flood, as well as roars that even a flash flood couldn't cover up.
"Come on, you bunch of bastards. Come on, let this grandpa slaughter you all!"
"F * ck! I've used up all my crystal cells. Give me another box, quick! "
"Too many. This isn't a level nine beast tide outbreak. It's at least level seven! Quickly ask for reinforcements. We won't be able to hold on! "
"We can't. We're in the thunderstorm area. It's very difficult to contact the outside world. We're still trying!"
Li Yao finally adapted to the wind and rain blowing against his face. With great difficulty, he opened his eyes. The scene that appeared in front of him. It was like a slaughterhouse in the deepest part of the netherworld.
The armored battle carriage seemed to have been ruthlessly ravaged by a pair of invisible devil claws. The entire roof of the carriage had been lifted, and the armor that was dozens of centimeters thick had been torn apart.
The ground was littered with corpses. Most of them belonged to the Union Army, who were wearing black battle suits. There were also some squishy remains of demon beasts that looked like octopuses. The corpses of both sides were entangled together. There were even some Union Army soldiers who bit the breathing pouch of the octopus demon beasts and perished together with them.
Most of the crystal railguns were lying on the ground and were seriously damaged.
Sitting on the few remaining crystal railguns was a member of the Union Army who was on the verge of madness. They bombarded the dark clouds with spiritual energy regardless of the cost.
And inside the dark clouds —
Li Yao raised his head and sucked in a breath of cold air.
Inside the clouds where lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. A huge gap was opened, like a giant mouth that could swallow the world.
Different from the surrounding dark sky, this giant mouth was as red as a blood lotus, as if it was a gate leading to another demonic world!
This was a space-time gap, a space-time gap that connected the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector.
In the eyes of the vast majority of the population, it had an even more jarring name —
Wormhole!
Countless octopus demon beasts rushed out of the wormhole, waving their tentacles as if they were swimming in water. They fiercely pounced towards the crystal train.
"Chi! Chi! "
The vast majority of the octopus demon beasts would burst into dazzling sparks when they were about to pounce on the crystal train. They would be electrocuted into smelly charcoal.
The crystal train came with its own defensive array. It formed an airtight electric net in midair.
However, there were a few particularly tyrannical octopus demon beasts that forcibly withstood the electric shock of the defensive array, broke through the electric net, and rushed towards the train.
Before they could recover from the dizziness of the electric shock, they were blasted to pieces by the crossfire of the crystal railguns, turning into specks of floating wreckage.
In just a short moment, hundreds of octopus demon beasts had died under the combined attack of the defensive array and the crystal railguns.
However, the octopus demon beasts that were a hundred times more numerous were pouring out of the wormhole. They let out ear-piercing screams as they rushed towards the crystal train dauntlessly!
"It's a beast tide outbreak!"
Li Yao's face was deathly pale.
A beast tide outbreak was the most dreadful natural disaster in the Tian Yuan Realm. There was no other.
Hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, billions of low-level demon beasts would tear apart the barrier of the Greater Thousand World. They would invade the Tian Yuan Realm through the wormhole and devour everything.
Farmland, towns, humans, animals, plants, and even the native demon beasts of the Tian Yuan Realm would not be able to escape this calamity — this was a beast tide outbreak!
A "Level 9 Beast Tide Outbreak" of the lowest level could gather hundreds of thousands of low-level demon beasts.
Even the weakest "Rat Demon" and "Insect Demon" could pose a great threat to cultivators as long as their numbers exceeded a certain level.
In the history of the Federation, there was even an example of a Core Formation Stage cultivator being bitten into a skeleton by a swarm of flying locusts that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
In the face of a beast tide outbreak, ordinary humans had no leeway to resist.
However, the barrier of the Greater Thousand World was not so easy to tear apart.
The vast majority of the Tian Yuan Realm was very stable and extremely difficult to tear apart. The possibility of forming a wormhole was very small.
Only the Demon Beast Wasteland, which happened to be located between the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Realm, was very fragile. It was very easy for wormholes to appear and demon beasts to invade.
This also caused the demon beasts in the wasteland to be inexhaustible. No matter how many demon beasts were killed, more powerful demon beasts would continuously invade from the Blood Demon Realm.
With the strength of the Xing Yao Federation, they were still unable to penetrate the Blood Demon Realm and completely eradicate the demon beasts. They could only build a large number of towns and military fortresses in the Demon Beast Wasteland and use the strategy of encroaching step by step to reduce the demon beasts' space of activity.
In the past five hundred years, the Union Army and cultivators had accumulated a great deal of experience in dealing with beast tide outbreaks. Under normal circumstances, even if they encountered a beast tide outbreak, as long as they sent out a distress signal in time, a large number of reinforcements and battle-type cultivators would arrive within half an hour.
Unfortunately, this beast tide outbreak happened to occur in the "Thunderstorm Zone", where the message could not be sent out.
Until now, the outside world still did not know that they had encountered a beast tide outbreak.
